Installing the update

To update to iWork 9.1, use the Mac App Store, Software Update, or the standalone installer. You only need one of these methods to update your computer.

Use this method if you originally purchased Keynote, Pages, or Numbers from the Mac App Store.

Launch the Mac App Store and go to the Updates tab to update the iWork applications you purchased.

Use this method if you originally purchased iWork in a box or you downloaded and then activated a trial version of iWork.

Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for the latest Apple software, including this update (Software Update might have linked you to this article to learn more about the update). If your computer is not up to date, other software updates available for your computer may appear. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than once to make sure you have all available updates. Running this update requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.

Use this method if you originally purchased iWork in a box or you downloaded and then activated a trial version of iWork. This is an alternative method to the Software Update method above.

Download the update installer and run it manually. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. Standalone installers for iWork 9.1 are available on the Apple Support Downloads page. Running this update requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
